When I go to visit my parents I try to fly into SUX because it is only 30 minutes from their house. OMA is 2 more hours away so SUX is more convenient.

I remember being a kid that it seemed like SUX had its fair share of airlines. However, only NW flies there now using mostly Saab 340s and the Canadair RJ (2-3x daily). It wasn't too long ago that NW was offering DC-9 service into SUX. I miss those days!

I know TWA (as American Eagle) was the last airline to pull out of SUX. Anyone know what other airlines used to service SUX within the last 10-15 years? I know that UA pulled out shortly after UA0232 crashed there in 1989.

With only one airline offering limited air service to SUX, I have a bad feeling about the future of SUX. Does anyone have any information about the future of SUX?

(When I flew in there in July I had to laugh because they were extending an existing runway. Come to find out the Air Guard was extending the runway to allow the new fuel tankers (retrofitted 707s and 767s) able to land. With the new runways, maybe NW will start DC-10 MSP-SUX service!!!)
